That's funny. In my previous shout I was going to mention that I never really "got" Buscemi as the lead. He's got that 98-pound weakling vibe about him so it was a stretch for me to see him as a strong, intimidating boss. But I do like him as an actor so I'll give it another shot.
But season 3. Bobby Cannavale. Bone for tuna. I've never loved hating a character so much.

Oh, you didn't even get into the good stuff. The 2nd half of season 2 was peak television. Season 3 was my favorite, but the whole show gives me warm and cozy vibes.

I quit that one somewhere in the second season, but it might have just been because I was busy on those nights and never bothered to go back and watch on demand. I might have to pick it back up. I tend to enjoy most HBO series that have any kind of historical feel to them.

But don't get me started on bad series endings. I still have PTSD symptoms over the ending of Carnivale five minutes later than it should have ended.

I will say this: HBO's Six Feet Under had perhaps the BEST series ending I have EVER seen. Perfection. I rewatch the entire series every year or so because it's just that good all the way through. It didn't really have a bad season... or episode.
Holy cow... flicking through the channels and Santa's Summer House (2012) is on TV
I thought Uwe Boll movies were bad.
Yeah, but AMC hasn't made me wanna break my TV quite like HBO.

This applies to most shows in general, with only a select few ending in a satisfying manner.
